Meet Douglas Teel, Jr.

Registered Master Maine Guide
       
Doug is a Maine native and grew up in the Mid-coast area. Teel, 34, is a Registered Master Maine Guide and is sole owner and proprietor of  Northridge Outfitters. Doug is also a Pro Staff member of Knight and Hale and Pradco Outdoor Brands, Daiwa fishing products ,Yamaha G3 boats and sponsored by Sufix fishing line.. He spent 12 seasons learning the profession under Northridge's previous owner, Jack Pierce. This apprenticeship steeped Doug in the history of the Maine woods and prepared him well for his chosen trade. Since taking over the business in 1998, he has expanded the service to include all types of hunting and fishing. He attended Unity College, where he studied Conservation  Law Enforcement and Outdoor Recreation.
       
Doug has worked with many outdoor product companies. One of them is Yamaha G3 Boats. This year he has a full sponsorship for a 1860 DLX  CCJ Tunnel Hull Jet Drive. This boat is provided by G3 Boats and Ken's Yamaha in Norway Maine. The boat is designed for running rivers. The shallow draft capabilities allow Doug to get on sections of rivers that only a few others can do. This means that the fishing pressure is minimal. He also has sponsorships with Daiwa rods and reels, Pradco Outdoor brands and Sufix fishing lines.

Bass fishing is a Northridge specialty, and Maine waters offer plenty of fast action. Northridge maintains 2 fully equipped Yamaha G3 jet drive boats to get you into those areas where the biggest bass live. The Spring spawning season often produces the largest catch of the year, but bass fishing remains very active throughout the summer and fall.

 Another Northridge specialty is black bear hunting, which is done over active baits or hound hunting Black bears (ghost of the woods) are numerous in Maine and provide a unique thrill for the serious hunter. Bears are hunted in the fall. A key to a successful hunt is proper preparation; Northridge prepares and maintains active sites throughout the bear season. With over a 50% harvest rate and an 95% opportunity rate makes Northridge one of the top Outfitters in the state.
 
Mid-coast Maine is a superb habitat for waterfowl of all kinds. In addition to a large population of Canada geese, we hunt several species of ducks including mallards, wood ducks, black ducks, blue and green-wing teal, hooded mergansers, buffleheads and goldeneyes. If upland game is your  interest, we hunt ruffed grouse and woodcock. A combination hunt for duck and upland game is always a great adventure.
